Which of the following statements about calcium channel blockers (CCBs) is correct?
Which of the following statements about calcium channel blockers (CCBs) is correct?
- Nifedipine and amlodipine do not reduce heart rate and contractility. (correct)
- Amlodipine, a long-acting CCB, can cause myocardial hypoperfusion.
- Short-acting nifedipine can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure and reflex tachycardia.
- Verapamil and diltiazem have marked effects on arteriolar vasodilatation.
Which of the following statements about potassium channel openers is incorrect?
Which of the following statements about potassium channel openers is incorrect?
- They are considered first-line therapy for anti-ischemic treatment due to their potent effects. (correct)
- They open ATP-sensitive K+ channels, leading to smooth muscle hyperpolarization.
- They are chemically related to nitrates and act as weak NO donors, inducing venular dilation.
- They inhibit the opening of L-type voltage-gated Ca+2 channels, producing vasodilatation.
Which of the following statements about beta-blockers is correct?
Which of the following statements about beta-blockers is correct?
- They are chemically related to nitrates and act as weak NO donors.
- They decrease heart rate and contractility by blocking calcium channels.
- They induce arteriolar vasodilatation by opening potassium channels.
- They are considered the first choice for long-term use in reducing the incidence of sudden death. (correct)
